These days, communism doesn't seem to the factor that it used to
be. Red China's a communist country, and it's a trading partner
with the world...Vietnam's communist, it's participating in the
global market, Russia's formerly a communist country...it's a
trading participant; Cold War's over. If countries are peaceful and
want to become constructive (instead of destructive) then their
beliefs and titles (names) might not be that important (anymore).
Maybe, it's the threat of terrorism that's mended some of the
feelings...maybe terrorism has turned into the new "common enemy"
for all nations.
